FAQ
Common questions.
How does whothis find someone from a photo?
We turn the face in your photo into a mathematical signature, then compare it against publicly available images across social platforms and public records. Matches are ranked by how confident the comparison is — not presented as certain facts.
What happens to the photo I upload?
Your photo is used only to run the face search and is deleted after the search is complete.
Are my search results public?
No. Your search and its results stay private to your account and are not published as a public lookup page.
Is whothis legal to use?
Whothis is intended for lawful personal verification. It is not a consumer-reporting service and must not be used for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other regulated eligibility decisions.
Which platforms does whothis search?
Whothis checks supported social platforms and public records. Coverage depends on which public images and sources are available for a particular search.
